Double glazing is made up of two layers of glass, with a layer of argon gas in between. This type of glass can be used in Aluminium windows. The gas is a poor insulator, helping heat to stay in your home and making your windows more efficient. As well as trapping the argon gas, the second layer of glass reduces the amount of noise that enters your property, and helps to make your windows stronger and more secure.

Aluminium windows supply & fit
Replacing your inefficient windows with aluminium double glazed windows is one of the best ways to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your heating bills.
Double glazing works by retaining heat in your home with an energy efficient spacer. This is usually Argon, and has fantastic insulation qualities by preventing heat from passing between the two panes of glass and exiting your property.
Combined with aluminium frames, you’ll have a resilient window that will be saving you hundreds of pounds every year.
Benefits of aluminium double glazed windows
Aluminium windows bring a number of fantastic benefits for every homeowner, including:
Reduced energy bills
Double glazing is specifically designed to limit heat loss, ensuring energy bills are slashed all year round. As heat can’t escape it’s locked in your property, meaning you won’t have to up the boiler temperature.
Improved security to your home
Double glazing in itself is a proven method to add security as potential burglars are put off by the two panes. And combined with aluminium you have even more strength.
Cuts to your carbon footprint
Carbon is responsible for global warming so reducing emissions is crucial to helping the environment and meeting tough EU targets set to the Government.
Reduced noise pollution
In the same way heat is retained, noise is kept out. This is especially great for homes close to busy main roads or near traffic works.
Why choose aluminium windows?
Of course, the major benefit for choosing aluminium over uPVC or hardwood, is the amazing resistant and durability it offers. Aluminium can handle stronger wind loads whilst also being resistant to impacts and adding security to your home.
On top of this they need little maintenance, unlike wooden window frames. Aluminium frames are also lightweight and come in a range of colours to separate your home from others on the road.

Aluminium windows FAQs
Removing a double glazed window can be quite labour intensive. If you decide to try it yourself, make sure you give yourself plenty of time, and wear gloves and goggles.
Begin by unscrewing all opening windows at the hinges and removing them. Then take away the beading and putty around any fixed panes and take them out too.
Once you’ve removed all the glass, use a saw to put angled cuts in the frame, and a bar and hammer to remove it in sections. You should remove the sill if you’re going to replace that too.
Finally, cut through any screws holding the frame into place with a hacksaw.
Whether you’re hiring a professional to replace your double glazing or are considering DIY, it’s a good idea to know how to fit a double glazed window.
You need to start by assembling your window. Fit any handles and cut the outer sill to size by measuring the outer wall depth. Then, screw the outer sill to the window frame and attach the frame fixers. Screw the ventilation grilles onto the inside of the frame and fix the vents on.
Next, you need put the window into place, using spacers to wedge it in. Use a spirit level to check it’s level horizontally and vertically, adding extra spacers if needed. Then, fix the frame into place at each fixing point using a drill, wall plugs and screws. Measure and cut the interior sill, and check that it’s level, adding spacers if needed. Then fix it using screws, masonry nails or adhesive.
Finally, fill in any wide gaps with foam filler and small gaps with sealant. You can get interior and exterior trims to cover these up, making your window look neat and professional.
Aluminium windows have a range of benefits that make them a great alternative to uPVC windows. Developments in technology have meant that modern aluminium windows now have the same energy efficiency levels as uPVC. Plus, their strength and flexibility make them a more attractive choice to many homeowners, particularly for more modern buildings.
Aluminium frames are typically much thinner than uPVC frames, allowing more light in and wider views. The metal can also be moulded to suit custom shapes, making it ideal for unusually shaped windows. Aluminium windows are available in lots of different colours, so can be designed to suit a wide range of interiors and exteriors.
How long your aluminium windows will last depends on their quality. They should last 20 -30 years at least, but have been known to stay in good condition for up to 45 years. This is considerably longer than uPVC and wooden double glazing.
